Barefoot more healthy

No need to clear unnecessary shoes.
In fact, in a world class competition was not always affect the shoes feat. Many international athletes such as Zola Budd-Pieterse of South Africa and Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia who managed to become champion without footwear. even just increases the risk of sprains foot engkel by either decreasing or increasing awareness of the position of foot torque rotate on foot when stumbling engkel. The incidence of sprains more in developed countries that the inhabitants are always wearing shoes than in the developing world where barefoot or sandals that thin is more common.

Dr. Daniel Leiberman argues that the problem is actually not on wearing shoes or not, but on how we are walking or running. Barefoot encourage runners to quell the landing impact by adjusting style landed at the bottom of the foot. Barefoot runners land more on the middle or front of the soles of the feet, which reduces transient shocks when in contact. Landing shocks and disseminated by most of the muscles in the back of the legs. As a result, barefoot running reduces the risk of injuries due to conflicts of power generating is much lower. Instead, runners who wear shoes more land on the heel of the shoe design and rely on to dampen shock and controlling the foot while running.

Gradual adjustment,
however, do not hastily discard Your running shoes. For those of you who have recently started running barefoot, unusual strain on the muscles and tendons can cause injury. You have to get used to change the way it goes first. Navigate more pressure on the middle or front of the soles of the feet, not on the heels. Then, let the structure of elastic in the legs to do its job. Start slowly on the surface of a safe (e.g. grass or sand) to strengthen your feet and allows soft tissue foot and ankle in order to adapt to the new load strategy.

Alternating walking without shoes in one day and the next day bersepatu will also reduce the risk of injury. Each person has a different capability to learn and adapt to new skills. Some people quickly adapt as a barefoot runner, the others have to struggle more to make changes, especially if they have a structural problem on the tendons and muscles are irreversible, caused by decades of wearing shoes.

Good for kids and teenagers
Walking barefoot is very good for healthy foot development in children and adolescents. Bare feet will strengthen and train the leg muscles are constantly adapting to the ruggedness floor. Muscle atrophy (shrinking) and defects such as flat feet (flat foot) can be prevented. Trained muscles also makes it less susceptible to foot pain.

Particular attention
however, should you need a thorn, metals, and other objects beling, when running barefoot. Objects that can easily be a source of danger to your feet. The injury not only painful but also risky, including tetanus infection. You need to check the status of Your tetanus immunization before going barefoot in the wild. Adults should get a tetanus vaccination every ten years. In addition, barefoot is not recommended for those who suffer from diabetes. Chronic diabetics often have the perception of pain is distracted so that no cuts on feet soon realized. This increases the risk of infection and complications.
